Conservation Corps

This looks like an interesting program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Corps members spend 3-10 months of their time devoted to critical environmental issues such as wildfire management and education, trail restoration and maintenance, environmental education, and invasive species eradication. This is a great opportunity to give back while you learn from the land on the land.

And you will be entitled to these benefits:

  • Valuable Trainings and certifications
  • Professional and personal connections that will last a lifetime
  • Paid travel to and from most sites
  • A biweekly living allowance
  • Free housing
  • Free or low-cost health insurance
  • Loan forbearance of qualified student loans
  • Possible academic credit
  • AmeriCorps Education Award ranging from $1,000 - $4,725 upon completion of service for eligible interns
